bad weather II

A winter day at the seafront of Volos
The sea looks very aggressive and huge waves cover the road
A lonely cyclist although is really brave and is not afraid of the bad weather He continues riding his bike enjoying his hobby

Hello Costantino,
That biker likes to live dangerously :)
This isn't the kind of images that we are used to see from Greece.
Good testimony of the storm.
Excellently composed picture.
Only the top of the lamppost is missing but of course there won't have been an abundance of time for this snapshot.
Best regards, Paul

hello Costantino
I'm just back from western France, Brittany, where severe and strong tempests are presently occurring
I see that greece is also under rather bad weather conditions
Well shown in your image, shot at the right instant, both for the waves and the presence of the cyclist
beat regards, have a nice evening

Hello Costantino ,
In my region , we have such bad weather since the 15th of december .
Your composition is very good . A pitty that you 've cropped the top of the lamp , but the presence of the biker is really excellent ;
regards

Very impressive photo of the power of a storm. You captured at a very apt moment to show the wave crushing over the wall. The presence of the man adds to the composition. The sky seem peaceful and beautiful at the moment. A good image showing the power and beauty of nature.

Exccellent bad weather photo.Perfect timing with both the wave and the cyclist. I really like that diagonal line of water on the quay and that the cyclist is moving along this line. This adds dynamics to the scene. Also very good that you were able to include the reflection of the cyclist in its entirety. TFS and have a nice Sunday!

Hello Costantino. In Europe, the weather is crazy. Snow, rain, mild temperatures, storm, high waves - everything is there. All this is no fun, because we miss the usual weather. So we marvel at the whims of nature, - and the intrepid cyclists.
I wish you a nice Sunday
Wolfgang.

Kalimera Costantino,
Several subjects combined here to one photo: the big wave pounding on the promenade, and you superbly caught the moment. Than there is one brave biker not afraid to ride along the waterfront in this kind of weather.
On the far side we see very clearly the port and cranes, while in far on the horizon the sky are clearing up.
Fine winter ambiance collected.

Hello Constantino,
bad weather,but how picturesque for photographers,right?
Your previous shot was excellent,but this one with the cyclist has this "something"(a human element),which makes the scene complete.
And of course the rough sea-perfectly captured and timed.You were able to convey here well the power of nature!

Yassous Costantino
I wonder if the cyclist is really enjoying his hobby or rather cycling home from work. I for my part would not dare to ride my bike so close to the harbor front under these bad weather conditions. The question now is this kind of waves normal for the season in Volos or do we see here a sign of the changing climate that affects our planter?
Anyway it is a strong composition.
have a great sunday
Daniel

Hello Costantino,
There seems to be nowhere in Europe escaping this awful weather. You have captured this shot at exactly the right moment; the cyclist is well placed and the wave crashes against the lamp. I like the point of view and the presence of the yellow buildings which makes a great anchor point and frame. Also, the soft light and colours.

Hello Constantino,
well captured scene which shows the sea in Greece is not always friendly and picturesquely blue. I like dynamism of this image as well as reality. The cyclist in the corner seems to be not moved at all by the weather.
Good POV and well proportioned composition.
Thanks for sharing and have a nice Sunday

Hello dear Costantino,
That's what we call here in Turkey "Lodos" ! Heavy sothwind storms which may create wonderfull sceneries specially at the seasides, like here !
I like your layout and dynamism of the scenery which is getting more visible by the splashing waves and the biker trying to move out of the Neptun's danger !
TFS and have a nice Sunday evening !

Hi Costantino,
The ma on bike here seems to be in trouble, looks like the next big wave is going to hit him. A very good and very dramatic picture of the forces of nature and an interesting scene from daily life.
Kind regards
Gunnar

Hi, Costantino,
When I saw this thumbnail I thought this is a fresh photo. But I see this photo from the past, and I remember that bad weather and your reports from the place. Good capture of the water expression, impressive background. Poor bicyclist...
Best regards,
Serghei

Hello Constantino
I was knocked off my bike by the wind a few weeks ago: it looked quite like this. Not the view of Greece that we are used to seeing and all the better for that. An interesting, "authentic" scene.
Regards
Will

Hi Costantino, A great captured moment of bad weather. The huge waves rushing over to the road is scary. The cyclist is brave as well as the photographer who risked his life to take this amazing moment of Mother Nature. Super colour tones and point of view. The reflections on the road are super. Thank for sharing

Hello Costantino,
Another lovely photo of the storm. That bike rider looks well placed with a lovely reflection, but I have bad news for him: Salt water rusts the bike quickly, I hope he washed his bike with fresh water after his ride.
Regards,
MT

You're capturing well this scene by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the spectacle in which the huge wave is washing the road. You catched well this decisive moment, and catched this location with port, building and mountain of backdrop. And, a lonely/brave cyclist draws out a good impact in this image.

this other image of the same moment is fantastic too. I liked your sense of opportunity with excellent framing catching well the moment of the splash, the local details and even a personage well positioned. TFS., very nice compo.

Hi Constantino!
A very good capture of a dangerous scene! Here, people do this kind of things all the time and sometimes accidents happen. I like the composition a lot. The man is very well placed and the wave makes all the difference!
